In the last couple of years the pesticide sprays impacted pheasant in Western and Central KS... it was nasty - they finally figured it out, and hopefully they got it fixed.

We used to hunt Goodland KS opening day, but it’s a 6 hour drive, and for the cost of gas and hotel I can shoot a bunch of pen raised birds and be home to watch the game ... and do other stuff...
Kind of a hard choice to make the Western KS run
